We appreciate you and would really like to get to the bottom of it. Assuming this is on us, we will do everything in our power to make this right.
Iâll be sure to vent my cylinder and lose my eye site. Thanks for the stellar advice. Iâll just huff a big ol hit of pentane trying to vent this plastic bucket. Give me a break Im a lab tech I know what happens when you open that lid. The only way to safely open is to wait until it cools.
Pentane doesnât really go past 5 psi so itâs nothing serious but it will spray in your face if you open while pressurized.
Please be sure to run all future advice past your engineer and lawyer jeezus

Can you share the chemical compatibility data for your containers?
Can I pressurize a bucket and watch you open it? Sounds like a cool video for your YouTube channel

Thanks. The pressure is one thing, but it doesnât explain the trim inside. It seems something more is going on with this pail.
Iâm assuming it vacuumed up some trim from my storage area. If you guys say thereâs no way it came from you, then Iâll leave it at that. I came here to have a public resolution, not sue you guys over a $90 bucket.
Letâs say ditch the plastic pails and we can agree to put this in the past. Oh and @Killa12345 wants a hat pin

Pretty sure thatâs an HDPE/polypropylene bucket. That youâre filling with pentane.

Ha, I donât know if we have hatpins. I know we are getting some lighters. Appreciate you and the feedback.
Thanks again. Shout out to the plug solvent direct. They really are cool people. Sometimes stuff happens. I would hate for someone to get injured in the future. I was concerned about my driver mostly.

A company that specializes in flammable solvents giving out lighters to customers
Maybe you should go with the hat pins instead?

Edited for Joke made in poor taste
A free lighter with every tank of butane seems⌠suggestive. Thatâs all.
